BUNDLE DEPLOYMENT WIZARD
The Bundle Deployment Wizard (BDW) was designed to assist users through the deployment of NetSuite SuiteSuccess and Platform Solution Bundles included in SuiteSuccess editions for our valued customers. The wizard uses a configuration template which informs the wizard of all the bundle deployment steps required to properly deploy our SuiteSuccess solutions prior to personalization sessions. As a result, using the Bundle Deployment Wizard have reported a 65-80% reduction in time to compete steps outlined in the Bundle Deployment Guides.
TIPS FOR SUCCESS
1. The “Multi-Language” feature is required for the tool to run. Verify the feature is enabled by navigating to Setup > Company > Enable Features > Company > International.
2. The BDW has been developed to run in English (US) as the base language, this was required to provide translation support for international editions.
The English (US) language must be added to the account prior to running the BDW, this requirement applies to ALL regions including editions with variations in English Base Languages such as English (AU), English (International), English (UK).
3. Currently the BDW is ONLY SUPPORTED within Chrome. There are known defects within Mozilla Firefox and Microsoft Edge. Using the BDW within an unsupported browser will result in the BDW “freezing” on the status page. If this occurs and you are in an unsupported browser, please hit the “cancel” button on the bottom of the page, Log into Google Chrome and restart the BDW using the exact same Customer ID and Customer Name.
4. Always make sure to use the most up to date version of the BDW.

- Navigate to Setup > Import/Export > View CSV Import Status
- You should see the following 5 import jobs with all records imported successfully
3. If the SuiteApp failed or is not installed, install and wait for the CSV Imports to run and install the Dashboard Tiles again once complete.

Title: Form Field Update
Error:
Solution:
In the Appendix of the deployment guide, check the Form Field Update section and verify if the changes are already applied on the [Customer] forms. If the changes have been applied, then the errors on the BDW tool are false negatives for the forms that are actually in the account. But if not, proceed with the deployment by manually adjusting the forms as instructed on the guide.
